Answer: Choice D which is -(-6 + 17) = 6 + (-17)
A sum is the result of adding two numbers. It doesn't matter if those numbers are positive or negative. In choice D, we start with -6 and 17 which add to -6+17. Then we apply a negative sign to that entire thing to take the complete opposite to get -(-6+17)
The negative sign is distributed through to each term. Whatever was negative turns positive, or vice versa. So -6 turns to +6 or just 6, and 17 becomes -17. That explains how your teacher got 6 + (-17).

If you would like to know the interquartile range of the new set and the interquartile range of the original set, you can do this using the following steps:
<span>The interquartile range is the difference between the third and the first quartiles.
The original set: </span>69, 70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77, 82
Lower quartile: 72
Upper quartile: 76.25
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76.25 - 72 = <span>4.25
</span>
The new set: <span>70, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 75, 76, 76, 76, 77, 77
</span>Lower quartile: 72.5
Upper quartile: 76
Interquartile range: upper quartile - lower quartile = 76 - 72.5 = 3.5
The correct result would be: T<span>he interquartile range of the new set would be 3.5. The interquartile range of the original set would be more than the new set.</span>
Try to find the lowest common denominator. In this case it's 28, which makes our numbers as follows:
1/4 = 7/28
1/7 = 4/28
7/28 + 4/28 = 11/28
We can't simplify it so that's the result.
Y=Mx+b (m is slope, b is y-intercept)
There are 2^3 possible combinations
So
P (getting no tails) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 as each time there is 1/2 chances of getting a heads
